<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi
friends! It's a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon, so I've got the kid's in a
happy place, Jill is playing some indoor tennis and I'm settling in front of
the computer for just a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With a cup
of hot coffee in hand, and from the comforts of home, I just joined in the
Slotin Folk Art Auction, featuring the private collections of </span><a href="http://www.folkart.org/mag/rosenak-collection" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chuck & Jan Rosenak</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://kellyludwig.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kelly Ludwig</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> (a local and highly talented Kansas City gal).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first prize of the afternoon is this fantastic work by Felipe Archuleta (<em>1910-1991</em>). Weighing in at 16x20, this piece is marker on paper.</span> </span></div>

It’s the art form of the yin and yang that gives context and interest to the details of a home. Where rustic can meet refined and high-end meeting low-end.<br /></div><br /><div align="left">So here is my perspective. Life is short, there is a lot to be enjoyed, so let’s not put limits on how we live with design.<br /><br />As we find ourselves at the top of the twenty first century we have many periods and references in which to pull our design direction. Is it modern that moves us or is it 18th century English that does the trick? How about early American or a touch of the Orient? Classic or less refined? I’ve just resolved that I like them all and they have a place in my world.<br /><br />Let’s just refer to this as design mash-up, noting that it does work best when following a few key principles.<br /><br />I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – one single paint color throughout your home will create the necessary continuity to let decorative objects stand out and hold their place of interest. Take your queue from an art gallery or museum where spaces are connected by unified color. It focuses your attention on the subjects and creates harmony for all that is taking place.<br /><br />Don’t hold back on pattern and textures. Toss some bold, graphic pillows on a sofa or chair that need a pop of pattern. Line the back of a boring bookcase with Ikat wallpaper and pepper your floors with colorful rugs. Cover a wall with reclaimed lumber from top to bottom and create a unique focal point to showcase your favorite art.<br /><br />Rethink your space by rotating furniture, artwork and decorative objects in your home. Add, take away and then add some more. Mixing periods, form and finishes can accomplish just the right balance you are trying to strike.<br /><br />Last but certainly not least, a room is not a room without some old stuff. New stuff just can’t carry off the warmth or the authenticity of an antique. It does the heavy lifting in just about every situation and is the best place to invest for longevity. Family heirlooms are even better as it’s a real connection to your heritage.<br /><br />Decorating is not a spectator sport, so mash it up a bit and get out there and find some good stuff! Along the way you will learn what you love the most as your curate your home-sweet-home. </div>Prizehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04015323561547255896noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947593175394790796.post-64567100139494316742012-03-08T12:23:00.003-08:002012-03-08T12:35:38.664-08:00On the scene: Val d'Orcia, ItalyMany of you know that Prize is part of a co-op with Peruvian Connection in their Kansas City and Washington DC stores.

In fact, I still take joy in the cold winter days ahead where outdoor chores are kept at bay and I can cozy into the digs of home with my family and friends.<br /><br />Comfort food and comfortable surroundings is the key to setting just the right atmosphere and it’s the small touches that make those cold winter days even more bearable. Before the first foot of snow falls, I ready my home to ward off the potential effects of cabin fever.<br /><br /><strong>WARM THOUGHTS</strong><br />There is nothing better than a crackling fire, but I opted for gas logs a few years ago to make things a little easier and cleaner. However, I did find logs that were authentic and create an amber glow with warmth to boot. I also light lots of candles, but only burn one scent – my preference is Votivo’s Forgotten Sage which has the distinct smell of pine.<br /><br />Vintage camp blankets fill a large basket and everyone grabs their favorite to snuggle up for family movie night. I’m still looking for a stylish version of the snuggie but haven’t had much luck there.<br /><br /><strong>WINTER GAMES<br /></strong>Nothing says “bring it on” like a good game of cards or a board game that takes you late into the night. I recently came across some beautiful antique wooden checkerboards that are as pretty on the wall as they are in a high stake game of checkers. On a recent antique buying trip I found some vintage wooden lawn pins that we use in a version of indoor bowling.<br /><br />We also take the games outdoors because that’s what makes the return indoors all the more fun. Though with it comes all the muck and mire and the abundance of coats, scarves and gloves that seem to multiply on their own. Invest in some rugs that can take the wear-and-tear of foot traffic. We use old colorful Persian rugs that have ample pattern and look better with age. We also have a large basket and a large scale coat rack right at the door to greet shoes and coats.<br /><br /><strong>EATS & TREATS</strong><br />I get a little fluffy in the wintertime and it’s not because of the goose-down coat that is hanging in my closet. Whether it’s an evening of entertaining friends or hanging out with the kids, food is usually in the spotlight.<br /><br />Something that is fun is to get everyone involved by making individual specialty pizzas. We plan ahead by placing various toppings and sauces in vintage ironstone bowls that can be passed around the prep island. The crust is a blank canvas and everyone is an artist as they layer on color and texture.<br /><br />So here is to greeting winter with a smile and warm heart.

It was a moment when man was just beginning to master machine. His pieces embody the quirky nature of discovery and reflect a desire to revisit the past.<br /><br />Falter prefers to work as immediately as possible in small groups, six to a dozen pieces at a time. Most pieces are wheel thrown, altered, and assembled. He uses a limited palette of very sensitive glazes and fires often in a small gas-fueled kiln. His work cycle is chaotic, but it allows for the whole making process to be seen as a moment, a moment where the piece reveals itself.<br /><br />Raised in southern Missouri, Nathan Falter earned a B.F.A. in ceramics from Missouri State University in 1995, and an M.F.A. in ceramics and sculpture from the University of Delaware in 1998. In addition to creating pieces for exhibitions and commission work, he teaches as an adjunct professor at Missouri State University. In 1998, he co-founded a community clay center with his wife, Jennifer Falter.<br /><br />Come visit Nathan and watch a live demonstration at Prize on Saturday, December 10.Prizehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04015323561547255896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947593175394790796.post-70526040394281617182011-11-14T13:27:00.001-08:002011-11-14T13:33:15.425-08:00Prize Goes To Washington DC<div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_XGYv_xtcamLmeSIOTCG6iZRbewRUJ4pqqLYoqlXhaK55na8boCQhUV6qKjXEZaEu2djgcTOdu5te_1dYuqbO9Y2PX56_Nkiig1R7lO3Y4nG1NbtOgKbf36oZiJxqTZzBrs0smvae6Bw/s1600/DC+Store+Front.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 245px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674966416117740690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_XGYv_xtcamLmeSIOTCG6iZRbewRUJ4pqqLYoqlXhaK55na8boCQhUV6qKjXEZaEu2djgcTOdu5te_1dYuqbO9Y2PX56_Nkiig1R7lO3Y4nG1NbtOgKbf36oZiJxqTZzBrs0smvae6Bw/s320/DC+Store+Front.jpg" /></span></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">In partnership with <a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/">Peruvian Connection</a>, Prize will make its east coast debut on Saturday, November 19.

It was deemed the tacky accoutrement of a man’s den and at some point banished to the garage and attic. Perhaps it was the constant stare of an inanimate object or the subtle reminder that the animal was plucked from its habitat in the wild. Whatever side of the fence you are on there is more to it than meets the proverbial eye.<br /><br />Historically the hunt for animals was by necessity in order to generate food for the table. No part of the animal was left to waste as fat was used for heating oil and furs and hides were turned into garments and rugs. Over time, hunting became a sport and was controlled in the selective hunt of game animals. This should not be confused with poaching which is the illegal practice of trapping and harming animals. This story would end here it that were even the case. </div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1n8i05hLHKDgl68cEpK4LQ50hFStmOJ8s9qBjvEP3ERtRB_xaJZvgxwcBwR6cc1fl4W_XPEQUeWWwGQY85pfRDjysstwltDoU0IYs6XsLDzKcTqYyszqfpZfUxhywoeY_SFw1ZtUujYc/s1600/RT_Tax+in+Urn.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664065034099401122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1n8i05hLHKDgl68cEpK4LQ50hFStmOJ8s9qBjvEP3ERtRB_xaJZvgxwcBwR6cc1fl4W_XPEQUeWWwGQY85pfRDjysstwltDoU0IYs6XsLDzKcTqYyszqfpZfUxhywoeY_SFw1ZtUujYc/s320/RT_Tax+in+Urn.jpg" /></a><br />In fact, works of taxidermy are actually quite useful as they are displayed in museums and educational institutions for purposes of teaching and instruction. However, they are showing up again with pride in beautiful homes, luxury hotels and highly rated restaurants as focal points to been seen and admired.<br /><br />The practice of taxidermy is a skilled craft that requires the artistic talent of carpenters, woodworkers and tanners. While animals are preserved in their most natural state, some parts are fabricated. Eyes are often made from glass and some of the soft tissue from wax and epoxy. One of the most amazing places I’ve ever visited to study this art was the celebrated <a href="http://www.deyrolle.com/magazine/">Deyrolle</a> in Paris which housed a vast collection of animals, insects and natural curiosities. Cabinets held birds and butterflies and salons were lined with full body mounts of peacocks, zebras and even giraffe.

However, more exotic mounts are highly treasured like African game animals including impala, gazelle, water buffalo and kudu.n Zebra rugs are especially hard to come by and usually demand a high price tag.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-9UBbCmHQ1yRdWOuqC4cbUVzIgXPkIjiI25yQ9vPSB5LhDZgbUMnpb-PkxSUKPmSm3UEK0X37vTRFrql48YnZFxkP19DzrsjuGvNGr01zvFC_nbw3DJ_R2GFTUAq7aLN0JKM62rXjmE/s1600/April+Loft+123.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664066832794693762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-9UBbCmHQ1yRdWOuqC4cbUVzIgXPkIjiI25yQ9vPSB5LhDZgbUMnpb-PkxSUKPmSm3UEK0X37vTRFrql48YnZFxkP19DzrsjuGvNGr01zvFC_nbw3DJ_R2GFTUAq7aLN0JKM62rXjmE/s320/April+Loft+123.JPG" /></a><br />Taking beauty to function, I recently had a female client who bought a half dozen small German roe buck antlers that she has mounted in her bathroom to hold her collection of jewelry – very creative.<br /><br />For those looking for an alternative to real game animals, they are showing up in “herds.” I am pretty smitten with a recent discovery for my son’s room. I found a set of paper mache trophies of a zebra, tiger and gazelle that are made by artists in Haiti. They are hand constructed and made of all recycled parts which supports global sustainability efforts. Also, a recent search on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy.com</a> listed over 200 trophy mounts with material options that ranged from carved basswood to felt and wool.<br /><br />Even the Queen of England boasts a collection of mounted trophies in her countryside estates. Yes, a little something for everyone.<br /><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Note from the writer: No animals were harmed in the production of this article.</span></em>Prizehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04015323561547255896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947593175394790796.post-65861813159630619882011-09-28T12:15:00.000-07:002011-09-28T12:19:28.773-07:00Prize Loves Imogene+Willie<iframe height="170" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/17552993?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=d4640f" frameborder="0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>Imogene + Willie Story (Wide) from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user5377333">Ian Leach</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p>Prizehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04015323561547255896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947593175394790796.post-15808357998354772702011-09-15T11:24:00.001-07:002011-09-15T11:25:18.010-07:00If I Only Had $5K This Would Be In My Kitchen<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQZCt1HIPg74X4gnr7P3P9299_osQb8q-SLNGSfVBNzCAj6OeTSAtqmt9vucl6aX6gfjcF28Rxi_jFYixH9FvOYLvOlUtH79oQ1r6jwC4IoD-fZLb32XvRGN-j1I0wikqD8g8Szvjnnj8/s1600/Spare+Ribs.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 311px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 192px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652654074270293426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQZCt1HIPg74X4gnr7P3P9299_osQb8q-SLNGSfVBNzCAj6OeTSAtqmt9vucl6aX6gfjcF28Rxi_jFYixH9FvOYLvOlUtH79oQ1r6jwC4IoD-fZLb32XvRGN-j1I0wikqD8g8Szvjnnj8/s320/Spare+Ribs.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div></div>Prizehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04015323561547255896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947593175394790796.post-89157395708236784342011-09-11T12:59:00.000-07:002011-09-11T13:18:07.818-07:00"Sign" Me Up!<div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdq3f5JZk-AHGuqpwgluDaQ7VHlnrlGsFg2Aohz6L7NeWnDMZDGmgvNxdqFws7oaiYLTPWAUgU-UOq931uv_ymnHdjiJqh_IDMeZQawg8pTA4mBLL1k9M0MCppwN0t0rhT3LTPx_ztO7k/s1600/WB+French+Postcard.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651197604517504146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdq3f5JZk-AHGuqpwgluDaQ7VHlnrlGsFg2Aohz6L7NeWnDMZDGmgvNxdqFws7oaiYLTPWAUgU-UOq931uv_ymnHdjiJqh_IDMeZQawg8pTA4mBLL1k9M0MCppwN0t0rhT3LTPx_ztO7k/s320/WB+French+Postcard.jpg" /></a> <em><span style="font-size:85%;">2' x 3' Large Scale French Postcards -$150 each (four options available)</span></em><br /><br />Recently, a customer took notice that artwork lining the walls of my shop were not exactly traditional paintings of scenic landscapes or moody subjects striking a pose. Instead, there seemed to be a theme of peculiar yet eye-pleasing subjects that ranged from old advertising shingles to transportation signs of previous decades.<br /><br />It appears I have a thing for the unusual when it comes to collecting. I like the quirky and the often long forgotten relics of our past that once served a more utilitarian purpose. In their time, they would not have been considered art. But fast forward decades and centuries and they become a fun installation and witty way to complement your design style.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi90UT0ExXfW8xTPbLyoMh_0ZZxGhKhoEnwgW1WPA6fO16GTq4MJGQHKH1LFU7-EcQzNOvoAJPGVqkPJZHq1-rwWCtskpXyipfXMk6yLwV8eBNFKnYH7Ta8-r1A_-4q_GGLLj6qP7JT398/s1600/Design+Notebook_vintage+signs2_Steve+72.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 210px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651195301534594770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi90UT0ExXfW8xTPbLyoMh_0ZZxGhKhoEnwgW1WPA6fO16GTq4MJGQHKH1LFU7-EcQzNOvoAJPGVqkPJZHq1-rwWCtskpXyipfXMk6yLwV8eBNFKnYH7Ta8-r1A_-4q_GGLLj6qP7JT398/s320/Design+Notebook_vintage+signs2_Steve+72.jpg" /></a> <em><span style="font-size:85%;">Antique Glass Sherwood Paint Sign From Australia</span></em> - $695 <br /><br /><br /><strong>Advertising</strong><br />Advertising is an art form in of itself. From written copy to compelling imagery, it is a call for consumers to engage with and ultimately buy a product. Even long before Madison Avenue and the agencies that created snappy jingles and campaigns, there were forms of advertising that existed in the way of trade signs and door shingles that would announce the business and its proprietor. Often carved from wood and painted by hand, these signs weathered the elements and have beauty that goes with age. I’m always on the hunt for them and double-sided signs are a major trophy.<br /><br />As advertising advanced over the years, so did typography – the arrangement of font type and point size by graphic designers, art directors and typesetters. One vivid example is the often seen “Keep Calm And Carry On” sign that was produced by the British government in 1939 as World War II began. It can now be purchased in a plethora of colors and would be a fun addition to the room of my 4-year-old daughter, who at times, can be a bit dramatic about life.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj52SmYcPnJYsMwLGWRFudiDjeI9nSyWKBMSBG6kB94ZDDyXXdswkedIZFZWj1JuVF1RmMLwUaQi1OHPV5hvEyNUS8Pks_aqmQVf9Yfi1o39rcl_6wzG5DHy8nkKY7w_5tS16bMjcs-0tM/s1600/Design+Notebook_home+office_Steve+72.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651196809363006850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj52SmYcPnJYsMwLGWRFudiDjeI9nSyWKBMSBG6kB94ZDDyXXdswkedIZFZWj1JuVF1RmMLwUaQi1OHPV5hvEyNUS8Pks_aqmQVf9Yfi1o39rcl_6wzG5DHy8nkKY7w_5tS16bMjcs-0tM/s320/Design+Notebook_home+office_Steve+72.jpg" /></a> <em><span style="font-size:85%;">Vintage roller skating sign - $395; French Botanical - $495<br /></span></em><br /><br /><strong>Classroom nostalgia</strong><br />Equally desirable to antique advertising are vintage teaching aids that were used in classrooms as early as the 1900’s. From anatomical charts to illustrations of the galaxy and its planets, they were rich in both color and graphic quality. And because their scale was often large, they are bold works of art for any room. I recently scored a pair of antique charts from Germany that depicts marine life and amphibious subjects like frogs. They are perfectly suited to the room of my son, “the little tadpole.”<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKBJtQMb0ts4PzcIaL2lkzDDhx4nxbjNfQlFjAPeqlEb9oXOluanopu_oPcikS4wN8DjlN7WkYqchLM-xoQPbdtCu5m-sIuBg3J7JMRIWAMz-WHTcg-vTi8NYu3nAYHr7TL2XpGZTMHBE/s1600/Design+Notebook_industrial_Steve+72.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651196127654455042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKBJtQMb0ts4PzcIaL2lkzDDhx4nxbjNfQlFjAPeqlEb9oXOluanopu_oPcikS4wN8DjlN7WkYqchLM-xoQPbdtCu5m-sIuBg3J7JMRIWAMz-WHTcg-vTi8NYu3nAYHr7TL2XpGZTMHBE/s320/Design+Notebook_industrial_Steve+72.jpg" /></a> <em>NYC Subway Rolls - sold; Other rolls available<br /></em><br /><strong>Transportation</strong><br />Mass transit and easy access to travel in the 20th century created the need for signage and lots of it. Signs were often colorful with large font type in order to communicate direction to drivers and passengers. They would advise travelers where to go and keep order for the masses that were moving about.<br /><br />One popular trend turning up recently in restaurants and homes are the use of long destination rolls as wall art. These graphic black-and-white signs would announce stops to passengers on subways and buses. They are a funky nod to the past and I have one at the end of a long hallway in my home. Now, if only to find one for the entry that cautions “Slow Down, Speed Zone Ahead.” </p><br /></div>Prizehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04015323561547255896noreply@blogger.com1
